just added 70 drops of this stuff and very visible reaction from the flatworms. i'm about to add carbon but i'll give you the step by step

I have only read of one other account of the Flatworm eXit and it was a good experience, I am hoping yours will be as well. I am excited about this product, flatworms are a big problem with reef tanks and it is nice to see some relief

it's been a few minutes since i added the carbon and there are no visible flatworms on the rocks. however there are a few on the sandbed that appear to be moving. i don't know if they will live but the corals have showed some interesting reactions. but all seems ok.

yeah after a little over an hour everything looks normal except for my trumpets. they have shriveled a little and hopefully this isn't anything long-term. ill cross my fingers

Could anyone post a pic of a flatworm? I have done a search but, what I come up with are things that look like nudibanchs

You can see the flatworms on the shrooms.

all in all great results no visible flatworms on the rocks. i did see like 5 on my glass which i quickly removed but compared to the millions i had before this stuff worked really good. the trumpets have come back some of them even split last night so i didn't have any casulties as of yet.

Is there any indication in the product literasture as to when you can dose another treatment? If there are a few alive, more will follow, if it's safe, it might be best to dose again.

it does not say i was planning on waiting a day or two because i don't want to kill anything. just to make sure.
